MVP Design Skill

Design minimal, production-ready code prototypes with clear architecture and self-documenting code.

When to Use

Use this skill when you need to:

• Design a new module or subsystem from scratch
• Create a minimal viable prototype (MVP) for rapid iteration
• Establish coding patterns and architectural decisions
• Plan implementation before writing actual code
• Design replacement systems alongside existing ones

Core Principles

1. Code as Documentation

• Code itself is readable - clear naming, simple structure
• Minimal comments - code explains itself
• Self-documenting functions - verb-based naming, obvious parameters
